Here are some easy natural ways you can get gorgeous pins for wearing those cute shorts, sexy dresses or summer skirts and swimsuits….

6 Tips For Sexy Legs

Tip 1 For Smooth Legs: Shaving

Nobody likes red shaving rash or ingrown hairs. You can prevent these annoying post shaving irritations by using Extra Virgin Coconut Oil with your shaving cream or soap – mixed half and half. Not only does it help to give you a closer smoother shave, but the natural essential fatty acids deeply lock in moisture in cells and protect against the sun. Natural antibacterial compounds in coconut oil also defend against bacteria that can invade hair follicles making them susceptible to pimples and infections around ingrown hairs. Coconut is also calming, so it helps to reduce redness after shaving. With the optional addition of a few drops of lavender oil – also calming and antibacterial – this make a wonderful shaving balm.

Make your own shaving cream using two tablespoons Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 2 tablespoons lux soap flakes (washing powder isle of your supermarket) with a tablespoon of water and a teaspoon of honey or just mix the coconut oil with shower ready made wash/shaving cream. Add a few drops of lavender oil for added softening and soothing properties. Leave in the shower or bath. Coconut oil sets at temperatures under 76 degrees F so you may want to store your mixture in a warm place or run it under warm water for a few minutes and give it a shake before use.

Apply this while shaving and you’ll have gorgeous soft moisturized skin afterwards.

Tip 2 For Smooth Legs: Exfoliating

Scrubs and loofahs are oh so important for removing dead skin cells and flaky skin. Giving your skin a good rub to lift off old layers of skin with ingredients that also stimulate new cell growth is the optimum way to do this.

How? Make your own yummy scrummy bath and shower scrubs with moisturizing and healing honey, collagen and cell rejuvenating acids and enzymes in certain fruits, plus ground nuts like almond meal or ground macadamias which contain essential fatty acids to lock in moisture and rehydrate cells. For itchy or inflamed skin you can add a few drops of lavender oil, ground oatmeal, aloe vera juice or camomile tea.

Make a simple scrub using:

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of honey (healing and a natural humectant meaning it draws moisture to your skin)

Tip 3 For Smooth Legs: Silly Squats

Oh NO I hear your say – not exercise? Well yes – and no. I’m not suggesting you do 200 sit-ups or any agonising sounding regime to enhance your legs, but studies show, doing just small 10 small squats a day, can make a HUGE difference to your basic muscle tone. Simple tricks like bending your knees (but not your back) to pick stuff up off the floor or doing another simple exercise that involves spreading your legs wide while standing watching tv and lowering your body to half way and lifting back up again can give just enough toning to make your legs that much sexier! Try it for a week and you’ll notice. 5 or ten squats and the wide squat exercise below standing with your legs apart is a real gem for firmer “short worthy” inner thighs!

Tip 4 For Smooth Legs: Baby Soft Feet

Your feet are an often overlooked but very important leg sexiness aspect to work on.

Fill a small tub with hot water and add the ingredients to it. Soak your feet for as long as you like (about 30 minutes is good) and then pat dry. The coconut oil moisturises your feet after the other ingredients have gently softened them.

Tip 5 For Smooth Legs: Tidy Toenails and Toes

This tip is very straight forward – wax any “fluff” off your toes and trim your toenails. For an added subtle but effective trick paint your toenails with a clear or very light sparkle free polish. This “prettifies” your toes in a subtle sneaky way (if there is such a thing as pretty toes of course).

Try applying moisturizer before bed and wearing socks, or tights while you sleep. These will keep in moisture and give your skin a silky soft treatment. Also try applying coconut oil in the shower, then rinsing it off, even if you aren’t shaving, this leaves your skin hydrated locking in moisture for hours afterwards.

One extra sneaky trick:

Drop a few tea bags in your bath for a light tanning effect (it’s a time tested body building trick) just don’t overdo it or you’ll end up with a Lisa Simpson tan!

Give these tips a try and enjoy feeling confident stepping out with your lovely legs.

Red raspberry (and other oils in the blend) are known for their natural sun protection properties. Apply before sun exposure for an extra deep dark tan while maintaining soft healthy and youthful skin.
